If you could have one gun, one platform, and one caliber, what would it be ?

**velo99** · 09-01-2012, 04:14 PM

Mine would be a Ruger SP 101 357 MAG 4 in barrel, stainless. Went with a revolver because this would be the only gun I could have. The SP is still concealable with a five shot capacity. Double action so a speed loader or strip for quick reload is an option.

DPMS...AR 10....7.62x51

**TedDeBearFrmHell** · 09-01-2012, 04:36 PM

Self Propelled Howitzer..... M109A6 Paladin .... 155 MM

its a little bulky but for the run of the mill self defense situation its awesome and it really has the ability to reach out and touch someone.

**chessail77** · 09-01-2012, 05:24 PM

But the Paladin is only good out to about 300 yds......

the maximum effective range is 11 miles.... but heck, even 300 yards is fine.... any more than i would need to start looking for some real firepower

Seriously, I'd have to meditate on the subject. I bought each of my pistols because I wanted them, and I like them all. If I could only have one, I guess it would be 9mm, and the platform would either be a G17 or a P226.

HK45 fullsize. Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorne designed em and they made it to be "bomb proof" as they described it.

Beretta 96 .40 cal.

**TurboHonda** · 09-02-2012, 11:44 AM

If I had to get rid of everything and only keep 1 gun, it would by my S&W, model 19, 4", 357 mag.

**hideit** · 09-02-2012, 12:11 PM

**dondavis3** · 09-02-2012, 03:56 PM

Sig Sauer P226 for me

They just keep on working.

**Shipwreck** · 09-02-2012, 07:04 PM

I've owned almost everything at 1 time or another. 15 years straight of buying and selling the gun I lost interest in, to pay for the next purchase.

Even owned a $3k and a $2.2k 1911 before. About 3 years ago, I caught the Beretta bug and slowly sold off some stuff to pay for more Berettas.

Now, at age 40... after losing tons of $'s over the years in these endeavors... The vast majority of what I have are Berettas. Fav platform by far...

**Stonge1812** · 09-02-2012, 07:41 PM

My Beretta PX4 storm in 45 is a treat to use, I guess for a 'one' stop platform, it's that pistol, chambered for the ubiquitous 9mm round. It will never let you down, and is so easy to shoot accurately.

Safe shooting, all.

**Bisley** · 09-05-2012, 07:36 AM

I guess it would be either my S&W Model 66 in .357 magnum, or the GP-100 - not because either is my favorite, but because they will shoot a variety of ammo, they have no mag or recoil springs to wear out, and they are accurate and powerful. This is what I would have if I had no real interest in guns, but needed someting for self defense that I would just put in my underwear drawer and forget - that's the only situation I can imagine in which I would have only one gun.

**AntzMa** · 09-07-2012, 12:49 AM

Ruger Sr9c ... I've put hundreds of rounds through mine and never had any problems with it.

**Yankee Station** · 09-08-2012, 06:05 PM

Ruger SR9c , Shield and Nano have good reports on reliability.

**Highhawk1948** · 09-08-2012, 09:15 PM

My 1967 Ruger Blackhawk .357.

**Mika** · 09-08-2012, 09:27 PM

Definately my glock 9mm

**Jgoertz** · 09-09-2012, 08:40 AM

Kimber Ultra CDP Crimson Trace 3"

**bootlegpilot** · 09-09-2012, 05:08 PM

Im very happy with my Walther PPQ. I have 2. 1
in 9mm and 1in 40 S&W.

**jaeatax** · 09-09-2012, 06:07 PM

I agree, you pull the trigger and it goes bang....no worries and it's powerful.

**SMann** · 09-09-2012, 06:18 PM

Handgun - Glock 19
Long Gun - Colt M4

**SigsT7** · 09-12-2012, 08:05 PM

Like to say Glock 19...
BUT....
the only handgun I own right now is a Sig P220 Compact SAS.

**aarondhgraham** · 09-13-2012, 03:15 PM

CZ comes to mind very quickly,,,
The CZ-75B is quite possibly as fine a 9mm as was ever built.
